    I don't think we have a 2013 goals thread yet... if we do, my bad. Smile

     

    If we don't, well, post 'em here!  And go!

    Do you even run?

      1500 miles.  I put down 1000 in the 2013in2013 game, but I'm adjusting my goal to 1500.  I just need to stay focused, and uninjured.

        I would like to run a marathon < 3:25 by the end of the year.

          As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

            I haven't run 26.2 in 3 years so want at least 1, plus 100+ miles a month. 100 miles for me just means I wasn't too banged up. I had 10 of those this year but will still hit or come close to 1,500.

             

            I signed up for my first half in 10 years which I'm looking forward to. I have done 8 marathons but only 1 half so also hope to run at least 2 of those.

              Remain uninjured.

              Remain consistent.

              Run my first full marathon in May.

              Run my first half(a double half) in September.

              Ride a bike race on both my road bike and my fat bike.

              Run a sub 6:20 mile(my last "Lincoln Mile" race time was 7:21). I accidentially ran a 6:51 in a 5k race in October, so I know I have faster in me.

              Run over 2013 miles in 2013.

                Hrmm...

                I think I put 1200 miles up for the miles game. I'd like to beat that.

                Run my first marathon (finish).

                Run a few more half marathons and PR on at least one.

                PR in the 5k.

                Run my first ultra (12 hour race).

                Don't get hurt!

                      • sub-20 5K
                      • 1:35 HM
                      • 3:30 FM (keep working towards a BQ)
                      • Stay healthy

                      I'd list a 10K PR as a goal too, but I think I'm going to crush that the next time I run one.

                              Some good goals here guys, it will be nice to see you achieve them.  Here are mine:

                               

                              - Sub 2:00 half marathon

                              - Sub 25:00 5k

                              - Sub 53:00 10k

                              - Run more trail races

                              - Find "the right" pair of shoes

                               

                              These goals are very conservative, because my right leg is retarded and desperately clings to runner's knee and PF.

                               

                               

                               

                               

                               

                               

                                Run 1200 miles

                                Run 2 HM - finish sub 2:00:00 on at least 1 HM

                                Run Marathon in Fall 2013

                                Go sub 26:00 for 5k

                                Go sub 54:00 for 10K

                                And keep enjoying running.
